Ingredient Kits Extract

﻿﻿ALL OF OUR INGREDIENT KITS INCLUDE THE FRESHEST AND MOST SUPERIOR MALT EXTRACT, GRAINS, HOPS AND YEAST.

Any of our kits that automatically include liquid yeast include either White Labs or Wyeast packs. Wyeast will swell up in 6-12 hours and no starter is required so you can brew the same day you pop the packet. We also encourage using Dry yeast, especially when shipping long distance.

We now include "difficulty ratings" with the kits. Possibilities are very easy, easy, intermediate and advanced. Very easy are those with minimal steps and no grain to steep. Easy kits include some grain to steep. Intermediate kits include grain and usually require dry hopping and/or have high gravity. Advanced kits may require partial mashes and/or temperature control during fermentation.

Most of the kits require a grain bag which is not included. If you already have one, great, but be advised that some of these kits come with a lot of grain, so the small muslin "socks" are usually unsuitable. We sell a nice, large, reusable nylon grain bag.

Our kit descriptions list the approximate starting gravity (SG), alcohol percentage (by volume) and the IBUs (international bittering units). All of these can be affected by the brewing process and can vary a bit. These numbers are estimates for average situations.
